Wiki Wednesdays
English 11
Mr. Mullen In order to enhance our reading of the novels, every Wednesday we will be in the computer lab working of the wiki. The idea is to design pages that help readers with your book. Think of it as a Sparknotes on steroids. As a group, you must work together to design and construct effective pages for your novel. You should do a minimum of one per week.
Pages should include various multimedia features (audio, images, video, power point, graphs, etc), not just text. Connections to your books should be concrete and logical. While I’m always game for humor, the humor should be in good taste and clearly relate to the book.
Due: Pages will be due at the end of each week, although an extension may be given to groups that are more ambitious with their design of the page.
